previously, the installer told me that using connector will increase the DB reading. Each connector will count.

The method you show with a shrink tube produces less loss compared to using ready available quick connectors by at least 5X less.

Why because the wall socket's provided is already fusion pre-spliced at the factory using machinery with precision at very minimal loss close to 0.0dB with a thin pigtail fibre cable.
What the installer will do when he comes to your house is join one end of the fibre from outside the FDP box with this pigtail using a fusion splicer then protect that area with a shrink tube.

TM now uses this method for the installation process.

Unless your premise built-in with Fiber-wall-socket,
they will give you this cable. (depend on the installer)

That's the one. They call it a quick connector. Easy to connect the fibre strand and less hassle but the cost? At least 5X more losses compared to fusion splicing.

In Singapore and 1st world countries they usually splice the cable with the wall socket connector's end. Lower losses and lock it down in a wall socket box.

My billing was out, and confirm got free voice STD20... who need free call services can try to ask as what I been told by the TM point staff if customer got request STD20 their might just add for u for free.
This is a very good example of TM's billing mess.

Need to request for this and that. Some get it some don't get it. His plan is different yours and he gets the better deal.

TM is the very example of Malaysian transparency and favoritism culture. It's a billing nightmare because there is no fairness and uniformity in their plans.

I would stay away from subscribing anything TM for as long as I ever can.

You're not forced to subscribed to City Broadband on Allo network.

It's by far the best open network with the most choices of ISPs with symmetrical speed plans.

You can subscribe to Celcom, DiGi, Maxis, Umobile(EXCLUSIVE) besides City Broadband on TNB Allo network.

Umobile is the most special if you're on Allo network. If you bundle your home fibre plan with Hero P99 postpaid plan, can get SYMMETRICAL 1Gbps home fibre plan at only RM150.
Not even TIME can beat this offer!

Yesterday TM telemarketing offer free upgrade from 100MBps to 300mbps without the tv package and free router wifi6. price remain RM129.
And of coz 2 year bonding.

Plan to transfer ownership, do it renew the contract?

This 2 year bonding offered by TM with rebates is not worth considering should it be that if you terminate early you're required to put up with the remaining months bill.
For other competitors such as Maxis, Celcom and DiGi their rebates with term contract such as 6 months pay for 30M plan but get 100M plan, if you terminate early. You're are not required to pay for remaining months in full.

You are only required to pay for say 6months rebate of RM40 for RM89 100Mbps, you pay 6 x RM40 = RM240 for your early termination. That will SAVE you lot of trouble.

So let's say Celcom offers 300M to you at price of a 100M plan your monthly rebate is like RM20 for next 24 months as customer retention offer. If you terminate within 24 months, you only require to pay remaining months x RM20 rebates that was offered to you. Not ENTIRE lum sum of remaining months. That's alot.

Maxis also need to pay for remaining months if you terminate early. Go google their T&C

I am referring to customer retention offers which encourage them to stay back after 2 years end of contract.

Maxis is very aggressive on this type of offers. If you choose to take up their 6 months pay for 30M but get 100M plan, you only need to lock for 1 year contract. If you decide to terminate early only pay 6 mths x RM40 rebate = RM240 one off penalty and you're free.

I thought Maxis's minimum termination fee is RM500?

"Remaining months subscription charges or RM500, whichever is higher."

Was not referring to new sign up.

Maxis will proactively contact customers whose 2 years contract with them already over and offer 6 months of RM40 rebate with the condition they extend their contract for 1 year.
In this 1 year if you choose to terminate early you only need to pay back the 6 months of RM40 rebate and you're off for this type of offer rebate contracts.

For those who are signing up for new line at your home, then I suggest you pick TIME, DiGi or Celcom. They still have one off RM500/RM400 early termination penalty which is way more fairer than having to pay remaining months considering they only supply with cheap skate equipments.

BTU nowadays can get bulk of 10 pieces for less than RM300 meaning each set only around RM30 less. Cheap ewaste WiFi6 routers which probably cost less than RM150 in bulk. Fibre cables so cheap too.

What justifies us to pay remaining months which amounts to thousands?
